Beyond the Game: Women, Leadership & the Future of Sports | Christine Brennan + Jana Woodson Moderated by: Betsy Fischer Martin

Sports are never just about the scoreboard. In this timely conversation, veteran journalist Christine Brennan, author of On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women’s Sports, joins Jana Woodson, a leader in college athletics and student-athlete advocacy, to explore how women are reshaping the sports world—from the court to the front office and beyond. Moderated by Betsy Fischer Martin, the discussion examines media attention, leadership, equity, and the cultural forces that shape how women athletes are celebrated, scrutinized, and remembered. Together, they consider what the current moment in women’s sports reveals about power, opportunity, and what comes next.
